General Quotes

“We live in a world of guided missiles and misguided men".”
Martin Luther King Jr

“Words like aparigraha (non-possession) and samabhava (equability) gripped me. How to cultivate and preserve that equability was the question. How was one to treat alike insulting, insolent and corrupt officials, co-workers of yesterday raising meaningless opposition, and men who had always been good to one? How was one to divest oneself of all possessions? Was not the body itself possession enough? Were not wife and children possessions? Was I to destroy all the cupboards of books I had? Was I to give up all I had and follow Him? Straight came the answer: I could not follow Him unless I gave up all I had.”
Mahatma Gandhi

“True friends don’t spend time gazing into each other’s eyes. They may show great tenderness towards each other but they face in the same direction - toward common projects, goals - above all, towards a common Lord.”
C.S. Lewis

“Discouragement is the opposite of faith. It is Satan’s device to thwart the work of God in your life.”
Billy Graham

“In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
Leo Tolstoy

All dreamers, all achievers, all great people kept their child-like faith in their own dream and their ability to carry it out, and these great people had an inordinate gift to disregard the word's cries for reality.”
Jim Stovall

“When we can learn from our own problems, we begin to deal with life. When we can learn from other people’s problems, we begin to master life.”
Jim Stovall

“By starving the sensibility of our pupils we only make them easier prey to the propagandist when he comes. For famished nature will be avenged and a hard heart is no infallible protection against a soft head.”
C.S. Lewis

“The greatest service which can be rendered any country is to add a useful plant to its culture.
Thomas Jefferson

“The question of how things will settle down is the only important question...”
Leo Tolstoy

“The enemy of development is this pain phobia - the unwillingness to do a tiny bit of suffering.”
Bruce Lee

“Those that hate goodness are sometimes nearer than those that know nothing at all about it and think they have it.”
C.S. Lewis

“I've heard that hard work never killed anyone, but I say why take the chance?”
Ronald Reagan

“Pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.”
C.S. Lewis

“If my father's son can become President of these United States, then your father's son can become anything he wishes.”
Abraham Lincoln
